Women In Construction (WIC) Week is March 3-9, 2019

Be sure to tag all of your social media posts:#WICWEEK2019

​​The focus of Women in Construction (WIC) Week is to highlight women as a visible component of the construction industry. WIC Week also provides an occasion for NAWIC’s thousands of members across the country to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry. It is also a time for local chapters to give back to their communities.

WIC Week Awards

You choose which category, or categories you want to compete in. You can choose just one or all four! (which I suggest) 😊

When you submit your WIC Week recap online, WHICH IS DUE APRIL 2nd) be sure to include the category (ies) you want to be judged in. The chapter or Region with the best score in the category will be announced at Annual Conference in Atlanta in 2019. Prizes will be a donation to the chapter or region general fund!
